Trekker 42 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Who is Tarantula replacing as the variant? Kraven or BIB SM? Tarantula has always been the variant in this line, hasn't he? What I was asking was "wi;ll it be Tatantula and Kraven or BIB SM and Tarantula instead of BIB SM and Kraven. Kinda like Archangel replaced Death. That's what I wanted to know.

Vigilante Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Tarantula will be replacing Kraven, so the normal set will be BIB spidey and Kraven, and the variant BIB spidey and Tarantula. Vig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's good. Now I can keep one Spidey in Parker clothes and one in Black Spidey outfit. I'm not sure what I'd do with 2 Kravens.

Dude Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm very grateful the heads arn't reversble. I think that might have runied the set for me. Glad to see Kraven, Trantula and shocker. Cosmic Spider man rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm very grateful the heads arn't reversble. They aren't? I thought that they were. I think those heads sitting by their feet are just the other sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 From the Marvelous news quote on the front page "Also, the recently announced Secret Invasion box set is showcased, though it seems these characters will feature separate Skrull heads as opposed to the earlier announced reversible heads. " At least it's my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" At least it's my understanding. That is good news if true. Maybe the Skrull head is reversible? Having the "transforming" Skrull face on one side, and the full Skrull face on the other?

lastmaximal Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Featuring Phoenix, Beast, and Wolverine in their classic costumes as well as the Minimate debut of Jessica Jones as Jewel, each suspicious hero can become a Skrull with just a twist of their head! Also included are four extra Skrull heads to transform Minimates already in your collection into an army of green invaders!

Zombieboyfiend Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Did you guys notice that the Civil War boxset is now sold out at AFX? These boxsets seem very popular. Unfortunately I did. Off to eBay i'm afraid. I so hate being jobless and behind on my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesium salami Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Does the green minimate look like the EMCC one? Or is it a lighter green? Or I guess I can try to be patient and wait for a picture... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 BLANKS!?! And translucent ones at that? Oh, damn, there goes my stress level -- straight through the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulk197 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 For more info on Jessica Jones / Jewel, you should check out the series she was in, "Alias." It's out in trades from Marvel. Good story and it all sort of leads into the New Avengers and the Secret Invasion. Now you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Does the green minimate look like the EMCC one? Or is it a lighter green? Or I guess I can try to be patient and wait for a picture... Much lighter (Almost but not quiet gamma hulk light) and a quick glance shows there is no hairpeg- hole in the head either. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniFiend UK Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I think they have also given Wolverine new hands as his claws actually have the metal sheaths they retract into and I don't remember seeing that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fo Shizzle Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) Jeez that is insane! I think they have also given Wolverine new hands as his claws actually have the metal sheaths they retract into and I don't remember seeing that before. Yeah that's never been done, it's a small but noticable detail! Edited July 25, 2008 by Fo Shizzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Wolverine hands are bigger too. Probably had to upsize the hands for the claw details. Wolverine boots appear to be slip over but a new format. Translucent SDCC 'Mates: Thursday - Green Friday - Saturday - Sunday - Remaining colors: Red, blue, and orange.

pioad Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 anyone know of any online retailers that are taking preorders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) anyone know of any online retailers that are taking preorders? Action Figure Xpress has the Iron Man Through the Ages and Invaders sets, as well as the Iron Man movie 4 pack. I believe that BBTS still has the Invaders set available, they will probably have both for sale at some point.
